SwellOwl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If the fee is £5M plus then this is good business. Yes he has talent but how often do you see it? Hopefully helps us use some of money to get players in for areas we need addressing. I hear Nuhiu is helping with his bags, might get an offer whilst he’s down there.

WalthamOwl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Bit of a sideways move for him. Thought if he was to leave he would go to a better team than Reading. Guess we won’t know the fee but hope it’s at least 5 million. Just hope we can spend some of the money on improving several positions in the squad. Would love us to move on Nuhiu and Winnall next.

McRightSide Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I don’t want João to leave, but we’re in a mess because weve barely sold any players. Only your good players attract interest, so it’s always going to be disappointing. But if we’ve got 5m+ then it’s not a bad deal I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 1 hour ago, Daz said: You say ‘strengthen in other areas’, but my concern is that there are nowhere near enough goals in our remaining strikers or midfield, hence we need to add a goal scorer who can score more than Joao has. Joao’s goals ratio for minutes on the pitch is pretty impressive so I’m just hoping that if he goes, that we need to not only replace those goals, but improve on them. I find it worrying when other strikers appear to be remaining while he is shipped out and is only 25. We can only sell players who other teams bid for. I'm sure we'd love to keep João and sell Nuhiu in order to keep the P&S wolf from the door, but it seems nobody wants to offer us too much for him. If we need to replace João's goals, then Rhodes' goal scoring ratio was very similar to João's last season, so he could have a similar impact from the bench.

swfcGibbo Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If we can get 9 million between Joao and Rhodes and those wages off the books then that's cracking business. There's real talent in the Premiership reserve teams waiting to be picked up. I would be looking to pick up another winger or two in the Harris mould so we can really utilise the current formation. It certainly plays to our strengths. I think these sales could make the team more rounded on a whole and obviously benefit us financially. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Wonder if we will try and bring another striker in. Joao offered something different to the rest of our strikers that we could do with replacing. Even though we need to move players on I feel a bit gutted about this. Was a quality goal he scored against Reading on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot in that as most players don't want to be sat on the subs bench or first to be dropped. Good luck to the lad if he goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 FF, Nuhui and Winnall should be the ones sold, but beggars can’t be choosers. Weve had to get rid of Hooper and Joao because of the above, and the likes of Abdi, Jones et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If you consider last season we were in so much trouble we may not have been able to renew Joao’s contract and he could have been lost for nothing then any significant fee in what I assume is his last year or contract is a win for the club. It may feel bit unusual as we haven’t sold an asset in what feels like forever but that’s the exact reason we almost lost the ability to renew his contract and in turn lose him for nowt! We’re still in a fixing state as a club and need to reset. This years business so far has been sensible and a few sales would enhance this massively.

Buddy Repperton Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thing that worries me is that joao is a doyen "client" unless I'm mistaken. Let's just pray that there's something left from the fee when paxos' vultures have had their slice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Be a bit disappointed as he’s our only striker with any pace, Rhodes , nuihu and fletcher possibly being the three slowest forwards in the league. Having said that , he flatters to deceive more often than not . If it’s a good offer and we are going to reinvest elsewhere than it could be good business all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we reinvest in areas that need strengthening, its good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
